-e TZ=Europe/Moscow

[bscheshirwork]

I can't configure the nginx service throw environment TZ

Another service in the composition can set timezone with

    environment:
      TZ: Europe/Moscow

$ date

$ docker-compose run --rm php date
Wed Feb 15 18:17:05 MSK 2017
$ docker-compose run --rm db date

but nginx-alpine has strange effect:

$ docker-compose run --rm nginx date
Wed Feb 15 15:18:20 GMT 2017

without pass -e

$ docker-compose run --rm nginx date
Wed Feb 15 15:18:44 UTC 2017

UTC -> GMT

may be this

That looks like a problem in the alpine image, not nginx related.

[bscheshirwork]

The nginx use it... Write time, for exp, in log file. So... Can may be need expand alpine for nginx and resolve problem?

[bscheshirwork]

yes, its resolve problem.

$ docker-compose run --rm nginx date
Wed Feb 15 15:55:29 GMT 2017
$ docker-compose run --rm nginx date
Wed Feb 15 18:55:55 MSK 2017

other based alpine Docker Image (redis,memcached,etc) is not include tzdata!
